When we return, we'll get drunk off that fermented milk. I like it... Mykel says as they head out. I can store a bunch of water in my minor bag of holding...
When he sees the skeletal remains of the huge creatures, he lets out a low whistle.
I bet there was a lot of meat on these beasts... he says as he tries to see if part of one of the tusks is easy to cut off.
This would make a fine handle for a blade...just for flavour...nothing serious...[
Meylara will change into a Quetzalcoatlus (huge flying dinosaur) and do some aerial scouting as we travel, hopefully giving us some warning when we are about to head into trouble.

I'll stay nearby and within view of the party. As it's flat ground from your description, I shouldn't need to do more than get altitude and probably go slightly ahead (maybe a couple hundred feet at most ahead and 50 feet in the air) to be able to see quite far.
Meylara coasts ahead of the group to scout the terrain ahead. The ravaged ground is empty of life and she sees nothing. Meanwhile the rest of the group follow in the distance. After about twenty minutes of traveling across this bleak landscape, the ground underneath their feet begins to rumble. Mammoth skeletons begin to assemble themselves and out of the earth rise the spirits of slain Kellid warriors. One of the warrior cries out in Hallit as it points a translucent spear at the Pathfinders, "More demons are here on our land. Do not let them surround us this time! We will drive the fiends off!"
Meylara is 200 feet away from the party, which puts her 60 feet off the map. I am assuming she left her animal companion behind with the command to guard one of the squishier party members. Meylara needs to move back onto the map before being able to command her AC.
Meylara feels the alarm from Petal through the bond and heads back to the group at full speed. Quetzalcoatlus have a fly speed of 50, so running back will move her the 200 feet back to the party this round.
Petal stands next to Carina on guard, and emits a low growl as she sees these creatures rising from the earth. She was commanded to Guard Carina before Meylara went off to scout.
Meylara flies back towards the group. As she does, one of the mammoth riders charges towards Mykel, howling in rage as it swings its spear. The mammoth gores the swashbuckler with its massive horns, but as the creature riding the mammoth bends down to touch him, the tail of the Captain's riding gecko strikes him, knocking him out of the way of the creature's attack.
I would have had Mage Armor up with the Extend rod(18 hours) Everything else is a little too short time wise though
Knowledge(Religion):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Noticing the first mammoth charge forward, Carina's first thought is to slow the others. After taking a step back from the monster, she draws a small crystal wand from her bag, and recites a trio of words as she cracks the crystal. Then, she breathes across the broken shards, billowing forth an icy fog that crystallizes into a icy wall, stretching between the slower foes and the party.
"I doubt that'll hold them long, but I have a couple other traps for them. End this one, fast!" She cries out, as she reaches for a bit of octopus jerky in her bag.
5-foot back Cast Wall of Ice - Wall is 90 feet long by 10 feet high. Each section has 27 HP. It's not going to last long, but hopefully it's enough of a delay for the the others to destroy the first one. When they break through, it's 1d6+9 cold damage(no save) for passing through

In case Andor is attacked during the move (e.g. AoO) then he will parry and riposte.
GM, Andor has a protector familiar and the following ability that leads to 50% of damage being shared with his familiar. Shield Master (Su): At 5th level, whenever a protector or its master takes hit point damage, as long as the protector and its master are touching, its master can split the damage evenly between them as if under the effects of shield other. This replaces deliver touch spells and speak with animals of its kind.

GM, Andor's tag line is updated due to the buffs. And also important: Andor also has DR5/Adam due to clay skin - once the spell has prevented a total of 5 points of damage per caster level (40 points for Andor), it is discharged and the spell ends..
That's 14 damage with DR, so 7 a piece for Andoe and his body guard.
Andor gets scratched by the mammoths massive risk as he moves in to strike. He gets a good strike in at the creative's knee cap, but a rapier can only do so much to a creature that is just ragged fur and frozen bone. Mykel follows through with a hit of his own, but only splinters the mammoth's shin bone with his efforts.
Carina, in making a second Religion check for you. There is more to find out about the spectres, but nothing else to really learn about their mounts. Skeletons are super basic. K-religion:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Carina thinks the mammoths lords are spectres. The only odd thing is that they are normally powerless in sunlight, but yet, the sun is in the sky. She also thinks their mounts are merely animated skeletons, although perhaps the proximity to the World Wound is making them more powerful than normal (they have the Advanced template). Skeletons have all the normal immunities and weaknesses one expects to find among undead, but their lack of flesh also makes them resistant to edged weapons and completely immune to cold. They are also surprisingly spritely, as they don't have all those hefty organs to haul around.

Another mammoth rider moves up to the icy wa l and attempts to smash through, but amazingly, the wall holds up. It is clear that it won't hold up long though as a spider web of cracks appear along its surface.
Gurkagh pats down the furs he wears for something useful. He finds an old pinecone, whispers to it, and then hurls it at the skeletal mammoth and its rider. When it lands, it explodes and sends shards everywhere!
Casting pinecomb bomb and throwing at an intersection to hit both the mammoth and the rider. They get DC 15 Reflex saves for half damage.
The shaman's pinecone grenade explodes over the Mammoth and rider. Although the force of the bomb seems to hurt the rider, the actual bits of woody shrapnel pass harmlessly through the slightly translucent Kellid's form. The pinecone also has less effect on the Mammoth then hoped due to being merely bone.

@GM - my view is that any animal would automatically attempt to use acrobatics to avoid an attack when approaching a larger creature, but since I've no way to actually command that within the rules, let me know how you want to play it.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO if allowed:
Acrobatics:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Petal moves up, flanking with Meylara and will strike with her talon. She has no charge lane, unfortunately, so will only get the one attack.
Never assumed that your attack will hit or miss. That bite actually hits. Animated skeletons have low AC. And in regards to Acrobatics, since it is on their class skill list, I assume they can use Acrobatics for any of it's normal uses. I think the common house cat provides ample real life evidence of animals using Acrobatics in that way. Just remember that squares that you use Acrobatics to move through cost double movement.
Meylara bites on the massive skeleton, melting through a chunk of it's spine. Her raptor slashes at it's legs but the mighty undead creature still remains standing.
The spectral mammoth rider retaliates, commanding the skeletal mount to attack Meylara while the rider reaches down to touch Andor with it's icy touch.
I will hold off on the attack roll vs Andor in case he wants to use Opportune Parry

Carina nods to the naval captain as she steps back a second time, this time replacing the jerky with a tiny ball of sulfur and guano, as she draws a second rod out, this one with a clear crystalline tip on it. "Captain, remember how we had problems with ghosts on the last assignment we had together? Well, I prepared for another such encounter." With that, she intones several words before the ball ignites. With a gesture from the rod in hand, the tiny burning sphere shoots off, flying just over the icy wall and past the heads of the mammoths before expolding in red and blue flame behind the pair of riders.
5-foot Move action - Withdraw Lesser ectoplasmic metamagic rod Standard action - Cast Fireball using the rod. (Marked by the red dashed line.) DC 21 Reflex save.
Carina, remember that somebody decided to block their line of sight to the other critters by putting up a giant wall of ice in the middle of the battlefield. Of course, that's not going to remain a problem for very long, so I will assume that you are going to *ready* to cast that fireball as soon as you see the wall crumble.
As the spectre reaches out to touch Andor, he leaps up onto the tusk of the animated pachyderm and drives the point of the rapier into the hand of the translucent creature. His blade passes through the creature's hand and causes no damage. On the other hand, the magic runes etched in the blade of his rapier glow and the creature flickers as the magic in the enchanted sword does deal a some damage to the ghostly spirit.
And no critical hit damage on this enemy.
Running up the tusk, the kitsune swordsman thrusts his blade into the vertebrae of the skeletal behemoth. There is a loud crack as the weakened bones snap loose and the massive skull falls to the ground. At this point there is a surge of necromantic energy leaving the skeleton as the bones collapse all around Andor. The Kellid remains hovering 15 feet in the air where it was once mounted on the mammoth. The expression on its face is twisted in pain as it screams a wordless scream.
The first attack killed the mammoth, so I believe 1 point of panache is restored. Unfortunately as the spectre is now no longer mounted, but is flying in place, Andor won't be able to redirect his subsequent attacks at the spectre.
Carina:
The spectre is now suddenly being affected by sunlight powerlessness. It is staggered and can no longer make attacks.
Carina readies an ectoplasmic fireball as she waits for the undead creatures to break through her wall. With no enemies in reach, Mykel's mind races as he contemplates his next move.

My apologies, I think I poorly worded my aim. Yes, I threw up a wall that they can use for cover. However, said wall is 'only' 10 feet tall. Are the mammoths(a Huge creature, judging by the space they occupy) shorter then 10 feet? 'Targeting' a fireball shouldn't be hard. This (And that the fireball would destroy the wall) is why I described aiming the fireball over the wall and the ball exploding behind the riders. I should have mentioned that I was aiming high, the bead going off about 11 feet up and 20 feet behind the wall.
that said....
Carina's eyes widen as the rider begins writhing in pain. "Kill the mammoths first! The riders will be much easier to kill afterward, as the sun will weaken them!"
Okay, I think the fireball could be positioned somewhere where can hit both riders and the wall. Note that while the spectres are mounted, skeletal mammoth and spectre are essentially treated as one creature and any attack that targets the mount can also target the rider. If the mammoth is slain, then they go back to being 5 ft. by 5 ft. creatures and considering that they are incorporeal flying creatures, it doesn't make sense for them fall to the ground when their mount has been slain. Which is why the dismounted spectre is flying.
Meylara, is +2 of your damage coming from heroism?
Carina lets loose an ectoplasmic fireball over the icy wall, burning both mount and rider on the other side. Mykel prepares himself for any creatures that come within range. Meylara attacks the spectre that is flying 15 feet in the air and commands her animal companion to also attack it. Confused at why her master is asking her to achieve the impossible, the dinosaur instead takes up a defensive posture as she hisses at the creature flying above her.
The mammoth rider brings down a section of the wall with a mighty blow of its tusks, then squeezes through the narrow opening, riding straight towards the Captain.
Gurkagh pulls off one of his boots and hurls it at a spectre!
Move action to remove article of clothing, swift action to imbue as magical using Ghostslayer feat, standard action to attack with improvised weapon via Throw Anything feat.
The Kellid specter roars in rage when it gets hit it the face by the lobbed boot.
In Kellid:
"You dare insult me by throwing your shoe at me! Prepare to face the wrath of Khazar the Nightwolf!"
The next mammoth rider also squeezes its way through the narrow opening made by the other warrior.
Meylara:
Okay, so the mammoth that Petal is attacking moved after your turn. I will allow you to retroactively changed your action; but its going to cost you your place in the initiative order as you'd have to delay until after Blue moved to make that a legal action. And for flying creatures, I do try to say both in the text what height they are flying and I will put a number next to them on the map. It's the second time you've had Petals attack a flying creature, so just watch for that.
As Petals moves around to attack the next mammoth, the massive creatures swings its tusks at the dinosaur. She gets gored by the monster, but then does manage to leap up and get in a slice on the behemoth's rib cage.
And I forgot, the spectres are not immune to cold from passing through the wall of ice. Blue Wall of Ice damage:1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Red Wall of Ice damage:1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
The Captain blasts the undead closing in with positive energy. The enemies remain standing, only mildly injured by the channel. The dismounted spectre begins to fly away. It moves as if drunk, but is still quick, managing to fly 80 feet away in a matter of seconds.
Meylara can make an attack of Opportunity, but I don't believe she can kill it in a single attack. Effectively it's out of combat.

In case Andor is attacked he will parry and riposte.
Parry, 1 AoO spent and 1 panache,:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (9) + 24 = 33-4 vs mammut. size
Yes, when a rider is mounted they are considered to occupy all the same squares as their mount does for simplicity's sake. Also, Andor, are you able to study more than one target at a time? The mammoth skeletons and the spectres are separate creatures.
Andor steps forward and stabs at the spectral Kellid riding on top of the skeletal mammoth. He tries to find a weak point in the creature's anatomy, but being that it is a ghostly creature he is unsure if stabbing it in one place is anymore effective than any other. he does stab the creature thrice, and each blow makes the creature flicker and bloody looking wounds appear on its body, so it is clear that his weapon is doing something.
Incorporeal creatures are immune to precision damage, which makes them immune to studied combat's damage and thus Sickening Offensive.
Mykel dashes forward swinging his falchata. The hefty blade nearly chops through the knee joint of the mammoth he's fighting and it lurches down. On the backswing his blade slices through the other leg. The huge monster begins to sway back and forth, but remains standing.

GM: Andor can only study 1 creature which would have been the spectre. If the mammoth attacks then please deduct 8 from the parry and 4 from the riposte.
With the good Captain between her and the mammoths, Carina moves to continue her offense. She slides just far enough to not hit the gecko in front of her and draws 3 cards along with what seems to be a mote of shadow. With a look over her cards, she smiles as she forces her will onto the mote, before taking a deep breath, and through the mote, exhales a long gout of flame, striking both of the mammoths before the fire stops just shy of the icy wall behind them.
Free action - drop rod Move Standard action - Harrow Casting Shadow Evocation(Dragon's Breath). I'm emulating a Brass dragon with this spell, so a 60 foot line of fire(marked on map) Likewise, I get +3 caster level on this spell, due to 2 feats.
Okay, this is a good draw for me. It increases the DC by +2 and adds +1 damage per die to the damage roll. So, DC 26 Will save(save to drop damage to 1/5) and DC 26 Reflex save(save to half). The Wall of Ice is at the limit of the spell(60 feet from Carina). Your call if I damage it, but if I do, it's only 10 damage(It automatically makes the will save.)

Blue Spectre Will Save:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 Blue Spectre Reflex Save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Carina breathes a jet of dragon fire all over the remaining undead. Both mammoth skeletons collapse as the flames turn their bones into cinders and a burst of necromantic energy leaves the massive skeletons. One of the spectres is also destroyed by the fiery blast and the other is rendered helpless without the negative energy from its mount protecting it from the sun peaking through the cancerous gray clouds.
The fight is over. The last spectre only has a few hit points, so its up to Meylara if she wants to finish it off or let it go.
With the undead defeated, an eerie calm has once again settled over this mammoth graveyard. The lair of the filth demon should lie within a few hours travel of this place.

”That was a nasty fight! I hate incorporeal beings!“ Andor says.
He takes time to brew his mutagen again. Takes an hour to brew. Duration 80 minutes. He drinks that one and in case it expires, he brews another before continuing and drinking that.
While Andor is brewing, Meylara spends a few charges from her wand healing her wounds. I don't recall if we discussed taking average on CLW wands out of combat. Will use 8 charges if so, otherwise let me know and I will roll.
I assume Meylara should be able to determine the location of the demon's lair from the air as we approach? Taking 10 on Perception will give her a 35 to scan for signs of the creature and it's habitat.
I am fine to move forward. We should not waste time if not needed. We can always rest between the two demon lairs if necessary.
As we approach the lair, she will meet back up with the group. Everyone gather round. Some demons have nasty auras or stench, so let's do a little to prepare. Cast Life Bubble, including the pets for a total of 3 hours for herself and Petal and 2 hours for everyone else including the gecko. She also renews her own Barkskin.
Yep, I'm fine with averaging out the CLW castings. And I'm assuming you are flying 50 feet up in the air and 200 ft. ahead of the group again.
The party spends two hours waiting for Andor to brew a pair of mutagens before setting out again. After this the party spends another two hours traveling towards the lair of the filth demon, which is said to lair near an ancient burial ground.
Meylara flies ahead of the group, coasting about 50 feet in the air and two hundred feet ahead of the group. Eventually she sees what looks like some dark stones about a thousand feet ahead of her. The clouds in the sky are beginning to darken.
Meylara flies back to the group. There is a section of dark stones and darker skies ahead that looks like it might be under heavy abyssal influence, likely the lair of the demon. We should make any preparations we can now before approaching.
Insert casting of Life Bubble and Barkskin now, along with renewing her Mage Armor from her wand.
Once the group is ready, Meylara will fly forward, staying lower (10-15 ft) and closer (20-30ft ahead) to the group.
